A Light Stardusting!

Ask me what movie I am Super Excited to see this year and I will say...

"SPIDERMAN 3! Of course!"

Ask me what other movie I am Super Excited to see and I will tell you about "Stardust". The upcoming adaptation of the Neil Gaiman book. I'm a big fan of Gaiman's. And his books.

Here's how AMAZON.COM describes "Stardust"...

In the sleepy English countryside at the dawn of the Victorian Era, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to beautiful Victoria Forester. But Victoria is cold and distant -- as distant, in fact, as the star she and Tristran see fall from the sky on a crisp October evening. For the coveted prize of Victoria's hand, Tristran vows to retrieve the fallen star and deliver it to his beloved. It is an oath that sends the lovelorn swain into a world that is strange beyond imagining, a world populated by evil old witches, deadly clutching trees, and goblin press-gangs -- a world redeemed only by true love.

Reminds me a lot of the first time that I ever saw "The Princess Bride" only with more special effects.

In addition to all of that, the movie boasts Robert Deniro as a Swashbuckling Sky Pirate and Ricky Gervais doing an old-world version of David Brent. (Can Gervais do anything that I don't just inherently love?)

Now then, layer the love story, the adventuring, the cleverness of Gaiman's world with state of the art CGI magic and you've got a fine, fine film there. Just perfect, if you ask me.

Don't believe me?

Perhaps you need to check out the trailer then.
Looks pretty exciting, if you ask me...



The movie opens August 10 of this year.

Cheers,
